modest prayer request

[Awake]

hey all;

   It seems that every time I come in here I find problems much worse than my own.  Nonetheless, I could use a few prayers.

I am handling the fact that the company which employs me is going away and I will be looking for a job in a very dry market.  I am also preparing for a rather unpleasant bankruptcy filing which my former life has forced me into.  This is also not a terrible burden.  Add the two together, and I have a bit of a load.  As can be expected, satan knows the time to strike.  I am being tempted and harassed by the evils that I once knew.  There are times that my mind wanders and returns to the thoughts and feelings of my past.  I know that my past life was a downward spiral promising to sweep me to ruin, destruction, and eternal [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]ation.  That is just the problem.  The pull of that downward spiral is terribly strong.  Even today I can feel its powerful magnetic tug on my soul.  I feel weak, and am afraid of slipping.  I escaped that life once, I don't know if I would have the strength to pull myself out again.

I am praying about it, asking God to help me find the strength to stand strong.  I really do think I could use a couple of extra prayers though.

Thanks all.

Praying for you Awake! You are right, satan always seems to know the time to attack. But always remember you have the armor of God to protect you in such attacks! God will see you through as long as you let Him take command. I know, easier said than done! But you have all our prayers helping you as well!

Father I pray for ‘Awake’ that You would bless and keep him close to Your side. Cover him under the blood of Jesus, surround and protect him from the evil one with Your angels, let him grow spiritually into the stature of Jesus Christ. Let Your joy overflow him and Your peace be a part of his life, dear Lord and may he always walk in favor with You and among all men. Amen

Just prayed mate .

I think what you should do is try to sort of get yourself out of the situation if you can. If you need to find a new better job, that would be great since the current jobs seems to be a real heavy thing on you. But anyway just a thought.

 

[JohnR7]

((I am being tempted and harassed by the evils that I once knew.))

Jesus taught us to pray that we be not lead into temptation. I have found that prayer to work a lot of the time. When I ask God to keep me from being tempted, often He does. Then at other times He will show me how worthless the thing is I am being tempted by.

So, when we are fighting mind battles, usually when we put on the mind of christ and take on the divine thoughts of God, that will go a long way toward helping us to gain the victory in Jesus.

We do not need the stinking demons to put any of the rotten thoughts of the devil into our thinking.

[Living for Him]

Awake. Stay awake! Whenver temptaions come, close your eyes and pray for strength. When the words you search for, don't come, close your eyes and just say over and over, "give me strength, give me strength, help me Lord, give me strength. There have even just been times for me, by just saying"Jesus, Jesus, Jesus," over and over, I have been filled with strength and peace, and then the words have come! You are a child of the King! You are the apple of His eye, you are wonderfully made, and you have been covered by His blood, you can overcome!

 

Praying for you Awake.

 

[HisLamb]

Many thanks to all who responded.  I greatly appreciate your words, thoughts, and prayers.  I've been told that the battle will not be over in this life, guess that is true.  Take each day as it comes.  Hope and pray that the battles become easier over time.
